1. Atticus Finch:
Daddy personified, I'd like to forcibly remove Scout out of this porch scene and replace her with a 43-year old me.
2. Pa Ingalls
I've heard rumors that Michael Landon was a bit of a hard-ass grouch in person but on LHOP (as people in the biz call it) he was the all-knowing and all-understanding Pa Ingalls with plain, good old fashioned advice meant to shape your life forevermore.
3. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ:
He understands. And he's got really warm hands.
4. Max Von Sydow
Picture says it all.
5. Donald Sutherland:
I've been crushing on Donald Sutherland since I was a kid. Once in New York City, a woman walked by Ruby and I, wearing a t-shirt that simply read "Donald Sutherland." Who wears a shirt with just an actor's name in iron-on felt letters on it?
We found this strange but somehow, since it was Donald Sutherland, we understood.
6. Gandolph
Magical dads with long beards are sexy and cool.
7. My old boyfriend Richard Lee
8. Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights:
9. William Faulkner
That wacky dad that you always secretly craved.
10. Nat King Cole
Just the name screams sexy dad type. The voice and kind, easy-going demeanor add to overall paternal bliss.
11. Darth Vadar:
If you're in the market for an all-around scary bad-ass of a dad. Nobody will be beating you up at school, that's for sure.
12. Tommy Lee Jones
Stern but fair. Loud but loving.
13. My Dad
